MAX738AMJA is listed in the Voltage Regulators - DC DC Switching Regulators range at ChipApex. The manufacturer field lists Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. Its product description is IC REG BUCK 5V 750MA 8CERDIP. Review the specifications below when checking this part for your BOM.
The MAX738AMJA is a 5V-output CMOS step-down switching regulator manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. (Maxim Integrated). It operates in current-mode PWM mode and accepts input voltages ranging from 6V to 16V. The device delivers up to 750mA of output current. It is housed in an 8-pin CDIP package designed for through-hole mounting.
Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels due to the discontinued status. Confirm that the specific MAX738AMJA variant matches the required CDIP-8 package and through-hole installation specifications. Review datasheet revisions for any historical updates regarding electrical characteristics before final integration into designs.
Select this component when a robust, through-hole 5V step-down solution is required for inputs between 6V and 16V. Consider its discontinuation status and evaluate alternative surface-mount regulators if space constraints or modern manufacturing processes are prioritized over legacy packaging requirements.
This part belongs to the Maxim Integrated MAX730/MAX738/MAX744 family of 5V step-down switching regulators. These devices were designed to replace linear regulators in applications requiring higher efficiency and lower heat dissipation while maintaining a simple external component count.
